Air-conditioned apartment in the city center, top floor

For a short or long stay, you will be in the historical heart of Lyon in this apartment that my wife and I have renovated for 6 months until February 2021.

It is located on the top floor -with elevator and panoramic view- in a typical building, dating from the 19th century, 100 m from the Place des Terreaux and the City Hall of Lyon, less than 200 m from the metro station "Hôtel de Ville" and the main bus lines (C3), and 5 min from the Old Lyon on foot.

Public parking is available within 300 meters of the apartment.

Very beautiful apartment in the center of Lyon--close to everything. The host was very welcoming (with a sweet pastry!) and he helped us a lot. When my wife was sick, our host contacted a doctor's office and made the appointment for her! Very kind! Would love to stay at Guillaume's apartment again.

Beautiful apartment in Lyon

This apartment is gorgeous! It is thoughtfully appointed with high quality appliances and fixtures, and a comfortable bed. Being on the top floor, we appreciated the elevator. Guillaume extended a warm welcome and orientation upon our arrival and responded promptly to any subsequent questions we had. The location is within walking distance of most sites (including Old Lyon) and amenities such as groceries, a good boulangerie, and numerous restaurants. We were very sorry to leave, and would love to stay here again.

Outstanding stay

Our two week stay in Guillaume’s apartment was great. He did an outstanding job renovating this apartment. The craftsmanship is first rate. He did a great job blending historic charm with modern conveniences. The place is very well equipped and clean. The location could not be better, just two blocks from the Hotel de Ville square. Many bars and restaurants within blocks. One of the best is La Cuisine on the main floor of the apartment building. Also, don’t miss Kaffe Stockholm right across the street. Great coffee and Swedish pastries. We cannot recommend Guillaume’s apartment enough.

I love this apartment. Imagine a rental apartment fully equipped where everything worked! Guillaume was thoughtful enough to leave bottled water in the fridge, coffee pods and a sachet of pralines, a specialty of Lyon, as welcome gifts. Guillaume has done a fabulous job designing the apartment with some hi tech features, including radiant floor heating. And there is a binder with instructions for everything down to the Nespresso machine. Most rentals just let you guess! There is a high step from the hallway up to the bathroom/loo area. Perhaps 10 ”. Doable but not comfortable for me at 5’1”. Yet this would not make me hesitate to stay there again! Thank you, Guillaume!

We really enjoyed our stay at Guillaume’s apartment. It ticked all the boxes: very clean, perfect location, comfortable bed and great shower. Plus it is visually stunning.

C’est parfait!

My husband and I stayed for 5 days in Guillaume’s incredibly renovated apartment. Our host was helpful and easy to communicate with using WhatsApp and he was genuinely invested in our experience. Such a nice mix of modern convenience and decor with historic charm. Kitchen,with coffee pods and cold water was nice along with linens and shampoo in the bath were appreciated. Comfortable bed and nice heavy drapes to control the light. Location is easily accessible to the metro and walkable to many sites. Lots of great eateries and restaurants nearby and darling ateliers along the street where the apartment is located. We found a grocery easily and boulangeries for morning pastries. Very vibrant area and being on the 5th floor we were not effected by any street noise. Our absolute favorite spot was the cafe table on the balcony to sip on wine purchased on a day trip to the Beaujolais region. We cannot wait to book again!

Lyon Week

This was an excellent Lyon option for us. I cannot express properly our appreciation for our landlord Guillaume who has crafted a beautiful apartment with everything one could ask for. The remodel he performed was obviously a labor of love. He did everything to make sure we would be comfortable and even met us on the way in as the way was blocked for our taxi. The neighborhood had everything we wished for and we enjoyed especially the take out opportunities at the local butchers (Didier ) Boucherie Chalonaise. Valentine was a great wine selector across the street. We loved Lyon!

Outstanding apartment

Guillaume has renovated this apartment to the highest standard. Our stay was for 2 weeks and the apartment had everything we needed- the airconditioning, balcony , new bathroom and lift were much appreciated. Location wise, everything is at your doorstep; a car is not needed snd probably a hindrance in Lyon. Guillaume was a lovely host and had thought of everything when renovating. If you need a longer stay, there is a lot of storage and high speed internet.

Fantastic apartment in very central location

This is a beautifully renovated apartment in an old building with a ton of character. It's on the top floor with a little balcony that's lovely for soaking up the sun and looking out over the city. The location is ideal for exploring Lyon - so convenient to everything. The host was great and very helpful. The quartier can be noisy at night, so bring earplugs or drown it out with white noise if you're a light sleeper, but other than that, this was the perfect apartment for my 6 weeks living and working in Lyon.

Misrepresentation

We wanted accommodation with parking on site so we applied the 'parking' filter when booking and this apartment was offered to us. In the owners description, he clearly states; " so leave your car at the property, which offers on site parking". Our interpretation of this was that we would be able to park our car at the property and that parking would be free, as it is with other properties we have booked. We have screen shots of the owners description and of the filters selected, should there be any dispute. When we arrived in the street, the owner directed us to an underground municipal multi storey car park several hundred metres away. We had to pay 81 euros for 64 hours of parking. It was a long way to walk with luggage and food for 3 days and so we had to go back several times. The location is great providing you don't have car. Superficially the apartment appeared clean but there were lots of long black hairs on the shower taps and on the bathroom floor and many cobwebs on the bedroom ceiling and kitchen ceiling. The communal areas are dark and dirty. The check in process was dreadful because we were asked to send texts when leaving our previous destination, then 3 hours before arrival and then 1 hour before arrival in Lyon. Then just after arrival there were more texts with WiFi codes etc. On the day we left the texts started at 7.20am, repeatedly asking us if we had turned everything off. So for us the communication process was irritating.

We could not have wanted anything more for 5 nights in Lyon. It is a beautiful, renovated, clean apartment in an amazing part of the city. We were surrounded by wonderful boulangeries and restaurants - all within a 5-10 minute walk. Grocery stores, markets, pharmacy all very close. The kitchen is well appointed, bathroom perfect with double sinks. My only suggestion would be a larger bed. The heated floors were a delight! We would highly recommend Guillaume’s apartment - from communication before to check out.

Guillaume‘s gorgeous apartment exceeded our expectations in every way possible! We stayed for four nights and wished it could have been more. We loved the location in a very authentic, non-touristy part of Lyon with amazing restaurants and vibrant nightlife all around. Guillaume has thought of everything in his beautiful design, combining comfort and style while preserving the grace of this gorgeous, historic building. We appreciated the central air conditioning during our August visit, and the underfloor heating is sure to make a winter stay cozy. Internet is super-fast, and the kitchen is well-equipped. Guillaume met us for checking in, and was always available by text to answer questions. The Lyon Express whisked us from the airport for an easy transfer to the Metro, and the apartment is less than a five minute walk from the Metro station. Be sure to spend an evening with a glass of wine on the Place des Terreaux right around the corner. I’m short, the apartment is amazing, Guillaume is wonderful, and we can’t wait to go back.

Lovely, Brand New, Wonderfully Located Apt with Thoughtful Amenities

My husband and I spent over three weeks staying at this fantastically located apartment. There are so many great restaurants, cafes and shops to explore just a few steps away, while also having access to everything else in this amazing city. We were working remote while we were in Lyon, and so we spent a lot of time in the accommodation. The central air worked fantastic on the hot days, while the patio and giant windows were enjoyable the other days. Guillaume has thought of helpful details, that make staying here so easy like the patio furniture, hair dryer, food storage containers and full set of dishes/pots. He was also super responsive. The one time we locked ourselves out, he responded with a solution within seconds. Highly recommend and would love to go back!
